[Resolved]  Vodafone — unauthorized deductions from prepaid balance - for ppu games download

Vodafone has deducted ₹49 from my account on sep 19, 2020 without authorisation on my prepaid sim. When contacted on 198 they are saying games pack was activated through 'advertisement'. I don't understand how this got activated as i have not authorised any such payments. I was suggested to download the trai cms app on google play store to register a complaint and get refund.

However, the app shows there are no vas services active and when a message 'stop' was sent to 155223, i received the same response.

However as per your records and conversation with your executives they confirmed that that games download was user initiated and that refund cannot happen.

This has been happening every month even after vas services have been blacklisted by the customer executives.

I want a full refund and also assurance that this will not happen again.

Vodafone deducted Rs 5 from my account on 02/10/2020 against ppu games which I don't even visited or hear before that day. When I contacted customer service they said I downloaded it. When I told them that I didn't even listen about that game and it is not even in my phone or any download history then they just replied that they don't know anything about that they just able to tell about deductions. When I asked them to refund my balance they refused.
